M61 Vulcan, GAU-8 Avenger (A-10’s Famous Gatling Gun) Test Fire 

Is there a reason this channel stopped posting videos?

Now we know how Kelsey Henson looks like after hiking the mountain

KatatonicGoat You really thinks those rounds will kill someone😂

@@stylisticsguy3746 they work pretty well on the hajis, so i think they will do well on some fat mericans.

FLUXZiON it was a joke my guy...but yes on some mericans it will be perfect, next is the Arabs

Think it will fit in my pocket

LOL

As a tf2 fan I demand you redo the math for the vulcan

@@Mr_chopp_choppIt's pretty cheap, like $5-10 dollars per round, so about 6-12k for 12 seconds

Hell yeah

As another tf2 I dont care its funny as is

*1,068,600

Legends say that when you hear an A-10 they probably missed

No shit thats how bullets work

Or you were but its accuracy is shit

Nope.

“Only in your local black market”

LOL

Nah, there’s always a tiny bit left

Forgot the “krkrkrakakakkrkrkrkrkr” impact sound hits first before the sound comes in “Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!!!!!!!” lol 😂

Is that a taco supreme talking back at you?

Pill Cosby yes they are but don't forget those Soviet era 23mm miniguns, now those are scary asf even to look at

lets not forget the .50 cal one with 3 barrels

12.7mm GAU-19 (three-barrel)

Annex Canada let's not 4 get about the 25mm equalizer

America has the worst gatling weapon American designers are not able to construct weapons usa vulcan 6000 rpm ,russian gsh 6-23 10,000 rpm(it is the fastest weapon on earth), GShG-7.62, gsh 6-30,ak 630, YakB these weapons are more reliable than American because they are gas operated, self-powered weapon, America has the worst gatling guns bro

Perfect crowd control tool

STHU !!!!

At this range yeah, but at the range they normally fire at the rounds have a massive impact zone, watch any footage of this thing in combat and the rounds are all over the place. These guns aren't precision weapons (that's why TV and Laser guided weapons exist), these are made to put as many rounds downrange as fast as possible.

​@@nightshadedawn have you ever tried aiming while going so fast? Yep it is pretty hard

@@ksir119 which is why we don't do gun runs in jets unless necessary. The A-10 was, stupidly, built around a gun and was obsolete by the time it started production but big gun go BRRRRRT.

The A10 wasn’t obsolete. Its literal purpose is ground attack, that’s why it exists. It is essentially a flying weapons platform. It’s mean to kill tanks and other military vehicles

​@@EricHabing-uu7hbthe idea for it was obsolete, which is why most kills are made using the missiles

The m61a1 is mounted on a apc

Bleed out? If your hit as a human being by a 30mm round from an A-10 mounted Gau-8 your entire body would vaporize into dust….heard from a friend

If a single bullet with that velocity hit anywhere on your body you will turn to a puddle of ground meat and blood

@@reliablereview4723 Both of you are correct, the AP rounds would leave a big ass hole, and the HE ones would vaporize you

I think you’d kind of just explode if you got hit by them

No, when the YA-9 (Northrop) and the YA-10 (Fairchild Republic) were testing as part of the A-X competition, the GAU-8 design was being developed in parallel by two competing companies (General Electric and Philco-Ford) *specifically for* that program (so yes, the A-10 *was* designed around the GAU-8; so was the YA-9). By the time the YA-10 had been selected (Jan 1973) and the A-10 was in production, General Electric had won the contract for the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger (June 1973). Only the YA-10 prototypes ever used the M61 Vulcan, during the initial A-X design competition. The A-10 has always had the GAU-8 on board during its operational life.

Well, unfortunately the Gatling gun wasn't adapted by the US army until 1866 - which FYI was *after* the war ended. The Gatling gun saw extremely limited use in Civil War. You know why? They were very expensive and only rich colonels who came from rich families could afford to purchase them. Even those saw little use in this new weapon - and like I said before the Union army decided *not* to purchase any even after they saw demonstrations of them. Another problem was that they used metal cartridges, and back in those days those were rare and expensive. Most weapons used *paper* cartridges and muzzle-loader muskets were used in the war too. When you got 20-30 rifles for the price of one Gatling gun it goes without saying few considered them a smart investment. You got cast light artillery pieces for that same money too and at the time *artillery was king* . Last of all. While the original Gatling gun was named after its inventor the later multibarreled machine guns only were referred to as "Gatling types" as a colloquial name. The Germans had an impressive looking "gatling gun" designed during WWI - the Fokker-Leimberger. Unfortunately it was a bit too advanced and fast firing for its time and the material standards and metallurgy weren't up to the task. Google it.

@@jamesshunt5123 Hmm, I see. Is this gonna be on the test?

Like to see the government try to seize my GAU-8 🧐

You will go from 60mph to reverse in about 1.2 seconds 😀

M61 is for light-armored infantry vehicles and GAU-8 is too destroy tanks with thicc armor

BRRRRRT

Dewoy1 And another one for Easter and one for Memorial Day and 3 for the 4th of July, INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

The m61a1 only had steel barrels woth 2 diff clamps one air defence and on for ground it also fired hei drag and so with tracers
